We're harvesting cherry tomatoes this morning. I won't need a knife at all. [bite tongue.]

...it is just too nice a knife to not use.

“Too nice not to use” ~ I’d feel the same way. Combined with the Whittler, you are all set.

I Can Not give you an opinion of Carnauba Wax .
This picture was taken shortly after I Waxed it and Buffed the bolsters . The Before photos of my 74s were not as Sharp as this . I think I paid about $5 for a small jar of Gunstock Wax .

Lovely pair, Harry!

My choices today are the same as they were last week. A bit of Stag and a bit of Ebony.

There’s a lot of beautiful character in both of those, Dyan.

Thanks for the reminder to carry mine soon! They really got that one just right.

Very inviting photo.

33 Middleman Jack ~ I bought this brand new somewhere around 45 years ago. Like me, it’s barely broken in.
And a 194 Serpentine Jack. Hope you all have a great day.
screened porch ~ your maters are ahead of mine! Lots of green ones...
I did harvest garlic yesterday. Saving the biggest ones for planting this fall.I let some cilantro go to seed for next year.While I impatiently wait for my tomatoes, I have been prowling the stores looking to increase my stash of canning jars and lids.

It’s about time to plant more beans, peas, and spinach.

I'm volunteering at a not-for-profit farm. My tomatoes are in a greenhouse.
This'll fix'em.

Might as well put the shoulder straps on my overalls to work.

My mother-n-law has been dropped off at her sisters, and we are headed to Traverse City. It will be the Jack, my Club, and the lighthouse SD. I like having the Boker back in my pocket but it’s so slim it likes to slip out of my pocket if I’m not careful, it will be riding in the zippered pocket today.

 

[Sacto]

Great pictures Sacto, that stream is so beautiful I’d fish it even if I knew there were no fish in it!
When you get a chance, check out the “Don’t Stop Believing” SAK.

Thanks, Todd. It was fun fishing, just frustrating when you can see them and not catch them.

I checked out that SAK. I like that-Journey and Bigfoot

 

[JohnDF]

Have a great day, Jack.

Have a great day, Todd.

For Tuesday...

Two Bokers for Tuesday. Hope it's a good one!

Big ole hunk of stag on this stockman!

That stag Dixie stockman is a heck of a pocket knife, Taylor!

The knife is Swiss but the Alps are Slovenian.

...

So far so good.
...

Satisfying SAKs and stupendous mountain views!

The total number is 75. Winterbottom bone type of day.

3 Queens will win a lot of hands! You've been posting many impressive trios lately!

Awesome pic. Makes me want one . Right up there with Gary’s photos…
I got my new (to me) Barlow. My first Barlow. I’m calling it “the poor mans 15” . Getting ready to harvest my first decent tomato of the season. View attachment 1597844

Seeing yours made me want to pull a few of mine out. It’s hard to beat a good ol’ Barlow!

Some splendid vintage barlows, gents!

That pocket worn bone on the cigar Schrade is sublime, Steve!

I’ll have to get caught up on all y’alls posts later. There’s no internet at my sister and bro in law’s place way up in the woods.

Looks like a couple of choice knives at a delightful destination, Jeff!

I added an old buffalo horn covered Lambsfoot to my recent "first lamb"; it needed some TLC.

Congrats on your growing flock of lambs, JJ!

Pal cattle punch today. Spent a very relaxing day at my daughters baby-sitting our newest grandson so they could attend a wedding shower.
My daughter made us a wonderful dinner on their return to celebrate the baby turning 1 month old today and me turning 63 yrs. today.

Belated birthday greetings, Greg; sounds like you had a good one!
Remember when you turned 21? Turning 63 = 3 x 21, so 3 times as good.

Well, it was 110 F outside a little while ago, but thankfully it's cooled all the way down to 106 now. Since I'm lounging around in sweats inside, drinking cider and watching explody movies with my wife, I switched it up from my usual GEC 97 to the toothpick today. Note: this cider was actually consumed indoors. Too hot to be outside long enough to drink anything - was just carrying while I let the dogs out (very briefly - it's too hot for dogs today, too).

Best wishes for coping with the insane temps.
That toothpick is HOT, too!

...

Great photo of your superb SamDamLamb, Jack!

Souvenir... My grandfather's Laguiole. My most precious knife.
Good sunday to all

Thanks for sharing that priceless family heirloom with us!

Almost the same as yesterday. Happy Sunday!

First-class pair, Mike!

The apricots are now the talk of the neighborhood as everyone has had a batch…. Here with another fave Robie.

A wunderful and peaceful Sunday to all

Colorful pic of fresh orange apricots and a redoubtable red Robeson, Gus!

The Usual Lamb and the Northwoods IRJ are becoming regulars, so now I need to pick a third knife for some variety during the day.

Olympic trio, John; 3 medal winners on the victory stand!

I have my Jack close at hand, I think you can see it in the background, but today I’ll be carrying a couple special knives when we head to “Top Golf” with the family to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. Don’t know how I managed to get my wife to marry me but she did, and I’m very happy she did! The SAK for obvious reasons, and the “92” is the year we were married. This is a very special knife to me for that and other reasons, it’s a true “Safe Queen.” View attachment 1598343

Having that GEC 92 whose model number matches your wedding year is really cool, Todd!
I've thought about birth year knives, but not anniversary until now. Amazingly, I have a GEC 85 and we were married in 1985 - what a pleasant surprise!

Perfect Sunday-go-to-meeting knife!

It's hot, humid, and a little creepy outside today. I'm staying in with the AC cranked, sharpening knives and watching Shark Week.
Stay safe, everyone!

Good to see another "Austin Animal Attack" photo, Rachel!

A pair of favorite Schrades today, 293Y, and 881Y.View attachment 1598513

Sunny pair of Schrades and some cool old containers, Jeff!
I attend my first lakefront (and first outdoor) wedding on Friday at Petoskey MI on Little Traverse Bay in Lake Michigan. I think I was the only guest wearing a ball cap, since I didn't want the top of my head, which is typically covered when I'm not in bed, to blister during the ceremony.

The usual 97 and my Sears (Schrade) Craftsman 95041 peanut today. This little Craftsman was my first knife, given to me at age six in 1977. It has great sentimental value, but I don't carry it very often. It would probably cut about 90% of everything I've ever cut with a pocket knife no problem, and it would have saved me a lot of money over the course of my life if I'd just stuck with this. But where would the fun be in that?

Very cool that you still have your first knife! (And your dogs seem to appreciate that fact, too!)

Starting my week with my 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot

Heavenly horn, Jack!

Loving the Old Timers.
Wearing their years well with sweet edges, and on Tolstoy no less, serious fella.
My wife tells me cilantro is coriander, Google confirm it as I doubted her. That's my fave herb, well second love it in soups and curries!


Herr Richartz about the garden cutting with tuetonic efficiency and a dash of cool.


Managed to learn a good method to re-centre blades lately. It was touching the mark side liner and it deeply irked me. This is kryptonite to my ocd!
